More About This Book

Overview


Take the measure of women's success!

Popular creative coach Gail McMeekin, author of the bestselling The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women, offers a wealth of advice for the specific challenges creative women face today: thinking too small, underestimating the need for change, fearing the future, and lacking of self-confidence.

McMeekin combines interviews with some of today's most successful women and her own proven success strategies to help readers transcend their "blocks" and achieve success. Women will discover how to:

* Dismantle limiting beliefs

* Take positive, calculated risks

* Make career changes fueled by passion and purpose

* "Filter and Focus" to give their creative ideas time and space to evolve

* Prioritize

* Overcome procrastination

* Declutter and create workable workspaces, and

* Find resources and support

As in her previous book, The 12 Secrets of Highly Successful Women offers hundreds of examples of how creative women entrepreneurs and business leaders have used these strategies for success. This is an inspiring book for women that shows what's possible when you follow your heart and honor your gifts.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
McMeekin (The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women) challenges women to be confident, think big, and embrace the future. She draws on interviews with successful female entrepreneurs, abundant research, and personal coaching experience with clients to help women get in touch with their inner muses, write business plans that mesh with their passions, and manage stress. While McMeekin's basic business strategies are sound, the book is oriented toward the creative woman starting her own company. Better choices with broader coverage are Mika Brzezinski's Knowing Your Value or Selena Rezvani's The Next Generation of Women Leaders.
